Grid-tied Systems
Components: Panels, Inverter, Wiring
The process:
- Your panels capture energy from the sun’s radiation and turn it into DC electricity, which is sent to your inverter.
- Your inverter creates usable AC power and distributes this to your home’s switchboard for use, and any excess not needed to the grid.
Hybrid Systems
Components: Panels, Inverter, Batteries, Wiring
The process:
- Your panels capture energy from the sun’s radiation and turn it into DC electricity, which is sent to your inverter.
- Your inverter creates usable AC power and distributes this to your home’s switchboard for use, then to the home battery for storage, and any excess not needed to the grid.
- The energy stored in the home battery is used at night or during power cuts.
Off Grid Systems
